Some Important SQL Queries

1. List all the databases on SQL Servers.



You can do it by following System Stored Procedures and queries:
Collapse | Copy Code
EXEC sp_databases

EXEC sp_helpdb

SELECT name
FROM sys.databases

SELECT name
FROM sys.sysdatabases

2. List all Tables in the database on SQL Servers.

You can find out all tables within a database by the following query:
Collapse | Copy Code
SELECT *
FROM sys.Tables

SELECT * FROM information_schema.tables

SELECT * FROM sysobjects WHERE xtype='U'

Here is a list of other object types you can search for as well:

C: Check constraint
D: Default constraint
F: Foreign Key constraint
L: Log
P: Stored procedure
PK: Primary Key constraint
RF: Replication Filter stored procedure
S: System table
TR: Trigger
U: User table
UQ: Unique constraint
V: View
X: Extended stored procedure

3. List all Stored Procedures in the database on SQL Servers.

You can find out all Stored Procedures within a database by the following query:

Collapse | Copy Code
SELECT name
FROM sys.objects
WHERE type = 'P'
If you want to find it within a period then;

SELECT name
FROM sys.objects
WHERE type = 'P'
AND DATEDIFF(D,create_date, GETDATE()) <5

The above query will find out all Stored Procedures created within 5 days.

4. List all User Defined Functions in the database on SQL Servers.

You can find out all User Defined Functions within a database by the following query:
